Configuration on IceLake

[Arturo Fernandez]

Hi Torbjörn,
Just for clarification, I'm no longer seeing the 'm4-ccas: Permission denied' error. I started on a fresh system (cloud-based) running CentOS8.4, unpacked gmp-6.2.99-20211010014524 and simply run ./configure, which returned:
Version: GNU MP 6.2.99
Host type: nehalem-pc-linux-gnu
ABI: 64
Install prefix: /usr
Compiler: gcc
Static libraries: yes
Shared libraries: yes 
This was my original problem, which is that configure is not picking up IceLake and assigning nehalem to the host type. I'm not sure if the GMPLIB Team is testing these new patches on IceLake HW but it might be worth considering before releasing a stable version.
Thanks,
Arturo

Hello. I was finally able to get back and work on this
configuration. Yesterday evening I downloaded the latest version
(gmp-6.2.99-20211010014524) but it is still unable to recognize
IceLake. The command configure is returning:
Version: GNU MP 6.2.99
Host type: nehalem-pc-linux-gnu
ABI: 64
Install prefix: /usr
Compiler: gcc

It is hard to provide support when the context is lost due do months
long delays.
I am sorry you keep seeing problems with executing exeutable GMP scripts
on several systems. It is an unusual problem, and not something we can
fix on the GMP side. We cannot make these scripts "more exeutable".
As I believe I told you, the few times we have had this reported, it has
been caused by ether a poorly chosen umask during tar file extraction,
or filesystem policy against executables. Both these problems are with
your setup, not with GMP.
You need to debug this locally, if needed with some local help.
